Origi met manager Brendan Rodgers on Merseyside earlier this month after Liverpool agreed an initial fee with Lille of £6 million, which could rise to £9.5 million with various add-ons.

Origi said after that meeting that he wanted more time to consider his future, but has now indicated that he wants to join Livepool, and sources have told ESPN FC that the transfer could go through within days.

Rodgers pursuing deal for Atletico defender

Liverpool are pursuing a deal to sign Atletico Madrid right-back Javi Manquillo on a season-long loan, sources have told ESPN.

Manager Brendan Rodgers is interested in the 20-year-old as he looks to strengthen his defence. Manquillo, who has represented Spain at Under-20 level, had been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal.

He told Het Nieuwsblad: "The deal isn't done yet. Liverpool is still the most concrete option.

"There's another team showing interest. We want to take a decision soon. On Monday, Divock is expected back at Lille for their first training session. We would like to have everything wrapped before that day."
